The Spark with Coco the Inspirationist

S3 Ep 38 | Solo with Coco on tree wisdom, my 30 day challenge update, and playing in the snow

This episode is chock full of my lived experiences from this week including the wisdom from our Hemlock trees, an update on my 30 day Intuitive Painting Challenge, and a look into how I play with my kids in the snow (hint: it's probably not how you do it).

I hope this episode gives you permission to push to your edges and give your Creative Self more of what it needs. From therapy, to  resting, to playing, to creating your own challenge, we are on this path and in this life to FEEL GOOD and GROW. 

What are you doing to encourage these things? What more could you allow?

S3 Ep 37 | Solo with Coco: Hello from the bottom

Woah.

Mental health, amiright?

I'm in the dark, inky deepness that is this covid-winter-solo parenting-kids always home-lowness. And I wanted to check in. 

On this episode, I share my lack of bandwidth for anything extra, how I'm seeing it as a pulling back of the arrow, not a falling off, and a hack my therapist gave me to get the hard stuff done on the hard days. 

I share an update on my 30 day intuitive painting challenge and what navigating a long challenge like this can look and feel like. 

Hello from the deep. Are you here too?____________________________

S3 E36 | Solo with Coco: New year intentions + what’s inspiring me right now

Happy New Year my love!

I love a good beginning moment, and this first episode of 2022 is exactly that: Season 3 is here! 

This episode is filled with all my fresh intentions as we fly through this new year's portal and a bit of what I learned over this last year.

This season might look a bit different in both in your feed and in your earbuds, as I play with what feels alive and inspired. Stay tuned for that! 

I also share what's currently inspiring me and the personal goals I have to deepen my relationship with my Creative Self. I'm taking on a creative challenge as well, going all, all out, and doubling down. SO GOOD. 

Here's links to some of the juice from the episode:

Bigger than a Mastermind by Caroline Addington

Outlawed by Anna North

Dickinson by Alena Smith on Apple TV

Qveen Herby (Seriously, go listen. She's incredible)

S2 Ep 35 | End of Year Solo with Coco

EEEIIIIIYYOOO! It's the last episode of the year and I take you through the things I'm most proud of (this pod, duh), the growing I've gone through, and the struggle I am having balancing this  busy season with the work I'm inspired to do. 

We talk human-imposed timelines and all the 'shoulds' that come with putting my work into the world (specifically launching my Etsy shop). I pull back the curtain and share what it's like holding up the sky for everyone in my world (hashtag military wife), and how my creativity helps create connection and moments worth being present for. 

I wish you all a joy-filled and ease-full holiday season.  And if it feels just a bit overwhelming and slightly (or not so slightly) draining, I'm right here with you. Holidays are so much extra. Let's make sure we give ourselves some of that extra too. 

xoxo

Coco

S2 Ep 33 | Solo with Coco

This solo dives into my feelings around my first ever launch 😍, my strategy to invite ease and joy into my holiday season, what exactly is Whoopie Wednesday, and my excitement over opening my Etsy shop.  I also tease a new offer coming the end of the year, and share a parenting strategy that's been the KEY to so much ease and joy with littles. 

Thank you SO much for being here. It means the world to me that you show up and take the time to listen to the message that's on my heart. I don't know why it's there, but I'm trusting that both you and I need to hear it so here we are and away we go✨
